someone online once said that their rage is very expensive. they said it takes a lot for them to get worked up. you remove yourself from the pack when you become highly selective with your energy. disengage more and more from the common conversation. become immune to rage bait and engagement farming. elevate by choosing where you put your energy and when. be picky when it comes to what you engage with, online and irl. this consciousness will level you up automagically.

#energy #selective focus #disengage #femininity #divine feminine #poised #be immune to rage bait #be selective with your energy #being selective #being choosy #i am picky #know your worth #self awareness #self respect

I dont think most non black people actually want to face their own (personal and communal) anti blackness. Black people are not seeing enough of yall doing shit that actually matters like, cutting contact with your anti black family, giving up work promotions and giving the to black people, opening up your homes to poor/homeless black people, doing more than just casually reading vauge black leftist theory online and being "friends" with black people because you know itll boost your political capital.

I dont believe in black people giving our energy to non black people or their issues until we can give this level of support to our own communities. Most non black people do not care that we exist and the ones who do are falling short of what it means to truly be a friend and co conspirator. I dont believe in solidarity anymore, it literally cant exist if non black people do not choose to put a large organized sustained effort into combating anti blackness in their hearts, homes and communities.

#me #personal #vent #im personally gonna be moving more of own work into supporting more of my own bc im not really seeing that happening atm #I am just very done with dealing with trying to support and be supported by non black people who dont even care about black people #Niggas its time to be selfish! if you are giving to these non black people and theyre leaving your cup dry then its not cool!! be selfish #personally im gonna try to make more of my support efforts go to communal fridges in my neighborhood and giving to haiti sudan and the cong #I suggest that we start being more selective with who we are giving our energies too bc we need to help other black people first

shep I was talking to my brother about dbhc xisuma as one does and mentioned that ask about not being able to puzzle xisuma's face together mentally and my brother joked that the reason you put the spoiler bars and such on his face is cause you cant draw his whole face yet 😂

anyway I might have talked his ear off about dbhc idk tho lmao

LMAOO NOOOO!!! MY SECRET FINALLY IS OUT!!! /silly

#HEHE thats rly fun though i hope your brother is enjoying the osmosis XD #truthfully... drawing xisuma's face is still really difficult for me... bc he's always like. the character whose personality and character #like. comes from the fact that we never see his face? and so there's something about him that feels more... right when his face is just.#a mystery #but i DO have a facecanon for him. esp for dbhc bc its important. even if when i think Xisuma i don't think of his face the way i might whe #I think of other characters. that isn't the reason why I spoiler it though XD when we get the face reveal it'll be obvious enough. i hope #LMAO.#anyway #idk like #some of the first sketches i did of Xisuma's face will still be my favorites tbh #it's hard to capture the same energy of a rough sketch when you try to sharpen those soft edges into a clean picture yknow?#i HAVE gotten better at it though.... square-ish face but soft on the edges... kind blue eyes... hair always tied back tightly and neatly #idk. i think about him a LOT #especially lately but we knew this hehehe #i think he deserves to take the helmet off every once and a while and just. breathe and get out of his own head yknow #i think he gets better at it in s9 even if he only takes it off around people he really trusts (keralis and cleo)#not that doc hasnt seen him or that he distrusts doc but... well. that whole relationship is a work in progress since season 8 was. well #anyway im really and truly rambling <3 #xisumas face is both an enigma to me and a soft sturdy shape in my brain... its hard to replicate consistently but those doodles are #just for me anyway =w= <3 #(and a few select others. who Know. you know who you are)

16 - thoma, lisa (idk i'm in love with this woman no matter how sus everyone thinks she is), diluc

[Character Analysis Ask Meme]

What’s the best way to win Thoma’s heart?

Unlike most others, there is not a simple and clean-cut way to winning Thoma’s heart. Thoma is the type to fall for the whole of a person, not just for a select few qualities. Like a seed that needs to be consistently watered in order to grow, Thoma needs time and consistency. He needs time to truly see you as someone he can fall for. That being said, even if he falls, don’t expect his heart to belong to you. As it is, there is something that already owns the whole of Thoma’s loyalties and attention. He is not in a place where he can give away his heart freely. What would make him willing to give it up? It’s hard to say.

What’s the best way to win Lisa’s heart?

Lisa, at her core, is a simple person. She is the person she presents to the world, and if there’s one thing she’s never hidden, it’s her love for cute people. It’s not surprising, then, that it’s cute people that she finds herself particularly attracted to. But it’s best to keep in mind that cuteness is not confined merely to physical appearances. It is a state of being. Even the most burly of people can be the cutest things in the world.

If you don’t consider yourself the cutest, it always helps being interested in her first. Why? Well, you can’t expect her not to notice and leave you be. Expect attempts to fluster you while acting coy. There’s nothing cuter than a blushing and flustered expression caused solely by her, after all. And if there’s one thing she loves, it’s cute people.

What’s the best way to win Diluc’s heart?

What puts Diluc at a higher difficulty than most is his reclusion from others. While Diluc treats his workers with gratitude and respect, well… it’s safe to say that he doesn’t exactly have the most friends. Those that know him well that it’s not due to his personality, but because of personal choice. Thus, if there’s anything that you need to be to win this man’s heart, it’s persistence. Even when he pushes you away, you will need to stand your ground and enforce yourself as a constant in his life, as a friend. Once you’re able to get past that first hurdle, the path to his heart really will not be too far away.

#genshin x reader #lisa #thoma #diluc #thoma x reader #lisa x reader #diluc x reader #THIS TOOK SO LONG I AM SO SORRY #it's not the best either but i felt really bad for making you wait #it's been slam city at work and i am the ball that was getting slammed around #thoma is a really interesting case as a whole #most people have select qualities that'll make them fall but thoma isn't that kind of person. it's kind of a combination of very many thing #but even then thoma is an extremely loyal person. to give his heart away would be a conflict of interest #even if you were part of the yashiro commission/kamisato estate dating you would take away time and energy that could be spent for the clan #i truly don't know what would make him cave #i think it would be a case by case basis #as for lisa regardless of what happens she wins #you're either cute from the start or she will make you cute #that being said does she fall in love with you because you are cute? not necessarily #you being cute is what causes her to notice your existence. and it's in noticing your cuteness that she will eventually notice /you/#does that make sense?#and as for diluc actually a lot of different personalities could work for him tbqh #you could be sweet or annoying or whatever and it probably could work #the common variable in every case is persistence #you need to both be persistent to be a consistent in his life (see what i did there?)#that being said i do want to key into the fact that not all personalities have the trait of persistence #it's usually associated with people that are caring nosy friendly energetic etc #so it's within that group of personalities that would be the most likely to win his heart #with diluc it's a very much an 'opposites attract' sort of situation #i want to say that its very much an attraction and longing for the innocence and hope that was so cruelly stolen from him

I want to go to a club and try to dance with someone and flirt just so I actually understand how to write a part of a fic I'm writing. I swear I'm getting desperate.

#i have never been a disco/club kind of person because I don't like dancing #and as much as I can muster the energy to be extroverted and a party animal it's not my thing #so now I have a svene set in a club and i don't know what to do #like #what the hell happems you dance with someone somehow it turns into flirting and then stuff happens?#i don't gwt it #my selective/introverted ass doesn't get it #it feels awkward and unnatural #but i swear to primus if I'm gonna do it to make a fic realistic #“hey Zero why did you hook up with that person?”#“i was wriring a fic”#hey party animals if you'd like to share your exp so that i don't have to try it I'd be grateful #steel rambles #like i get flirting irl okay #been there done that doing that etcetera #but how does someone go from not knowing someone; dance-flirting with someone; hooking up with someone all in one night?#ffs i like it in theory but the practice sure doesn't look inviting #maybe i should go to sleep that I'm getting stupid ideas

fuck, audhd burnout is a bitch.

#i can barely move my body without it feeling like a herculean task right now #my arms and fingers and legs feel like lead #my brain wants to do nothing but sleep for eternity #and everything is loud #so loud #i hate knowing i’m in burnout but not being able to do anything about it because im not diagnosed #i know exactly what i need but i cant get it its just out of my reach #and i wonder if i’m going to just self-destruct one day #if i’m going to be stuck in burnout for another three years on top of what feels like has already been a couple years in it #i feel like crying #not a hard cry #i dont even have energy for that #but the type where you sit there staring at nothing #sitting very still whilst tears just fall out of your eyes #i cant speak i dont want to speak i never want to go to school in person again i never want to open my mouth again #i never want to interact with another human being in person ever again apart from a very select few #im so sick of this #and sometimes i wish i could believe in god #any god would be alright #but i cant #thatd be lying to myself #cause i personally simply just do not believe that gods could exist outside of fantasy #but it leaves me with nothing to believe in #and thats tiring in itself #i want to stay on the bus #an empty bus #listening to music as it takes me who knows where #touring the city aimlessly #forever #i think that would fix me

Tintin in black island (which is already his highest injury count*) rly just grabbing those unknown electrical cables and walking along running them Through his hand without ever checking if they’re live or having any idea how much power they might be carrying 💀

#*I can’t confirm this yet but I’m going to do a selection of tintin stats hopefully #and for injury stats black island is insane #as someone who works with outdoor electrical installations for a living #don’t do this at home #also don’t jump onto moving vehicles or pet gorillas #tintin #the black island #he also then ties ppl up using the same cable WITHOUT disconnecting the power first #like bestie I LOVE your chaotic energy but for the love of god

I downloaded an app that I think is meant to be used for like, detailed food tracking or something, but I instead really just wanted something with this format (color coded calendar days) so I could put in one single simple entry a day to kind of rate my day overall (based on physical health symptoms).. which..... looking back over it for the new year since when I first started tracking.. 9 "good" days in about 9 months, so roughly one good day a month LOL...

#A neutral/yellow day is if I felt sick or had any symptoms (nausea. joint pains. headahces. etc.)#to a distracting degree for at least an hour or more at any point in the day - YET it was not so severe or so distracting #that i was completely unable to get anything done. An orange day is if I was so sick or felt so bad #that I completed absolutely nothing that day because my primary focus was basically spending the entire day on whatever #was wrong with me or recovering from that. And a green day is a day that - even if maybe i had a few aches or pains - I was never any #noticable or distracting amount of sick - PLUS - i also got a reasonable amount of things done.#If I don't feel very sick yet I also lack the energy or mental wellness to complete daily tasks then it still counts as a yellow day.#So I guess like.. Yellow is if health was ok but focus was bad OR focus was okay but health was distracting. Green is BOTH focus and #health were mostly okay for a majority of the day with no major setbacks. And Orange is zero focus whatsoever because health is too bad.#There are also 5 categories. the worst is a super dark red and then best is a super bright green but I don't like using them #You have to select a bright red (x_x) emoji face to classify your day as dark red. and I dont like the implication of a 'dead' person face #because of my ocd lmao... it makes me afraid it's some habringer of death (if I select it for that day then somehting terrible will happen #the next day or whatever lol) *** *** *** - so I never use that one. I also feel like the MOST extreme categories should be reserved for #super extreme circumstance like.. I would only do a dark red day if I was literally hospitlaized or something. And same with the bright #green days like.. that would imply I guess that i was both suuuuper productive ANd had basically no symptoms at all all day. like a #Very Very Good day. and I just think that's not even possible. no day ever goes by without me feeling at least a little sick or achey at #SOME point lol... A day with NO headahces or issues or etc would be.... wow... mythical occurence..#I have definitely gotten worse as I got older but even at like 15 or 16 years old I used to take ibuprophen a ton (I dont anymore of course #for stomach reasons lol) and remember having various minor problems here and there I was bothered by a lot #AAANYWAY.. also I count 44 'bad' days ghb... that's losing like.. at least one entire month of time a year.. maybe this is why I have so mu #much trouble getting things done and finishing my projects. BUT thats the point and why I wanted to track that. to like.. see it all laid #out at the end of the year. Maybe I could even compare years. Even though I started late in 2023. It'd be interesting to have a #yearly record of how many good vs. bad vs. neutral days I had in any given year.#(app is called 'Moodflow' on android phones. in case anyone sees this and asks. though I cant vouch for it or any of the features or anythi #ng since.. again. i literally ONLY use the one single feature of rating calendar days. I look at nothing else on there. And I keep my data #off and phone in airplane mode basically at all times so I never get ads on apps. Sometimes i'll mention liking some puzzle game or somethi #and then someone else is like 'yeah i love it but OMG so many ads' and I'm just like.. yeagh.... not for me lol.. but sorry to you. that #sounds annoying certainly..) ANYWAY.. auuugh... a sea of yellow neutrality. better than a sea of orange though. so :'3c

oh i'm a goof, i forgot to add a bullet point abt it but i do have a discord server that i'm open to letting more people in to, it's very very chill and everyone is super nice. i want to keep that energy but if that's something that interests you then feel free to dm me. heads up that it's 18+ only and that you'll need proof of age via an ID, though.

#i'm a Little selective.. like. i want to recognize your url which chances are i definitely do if you interact with my blog #i've had really bad experiences so i just want to keep the energy as nice as possible #but i like making friends and if you want to chat with me then discord is the best option bc it's the only place i'm semi-active

Not to be afflicted with Average Artist Experience syndrome but I could be getting 4x as many hilarious comments on my Papyrus’ Boobs comic if more people reblogged it. Like, I absolutely love interacting with the fandom and getting to laugh with people (esp those who add on and are even funnier), but also the ratio of reblogs:likes is staggering.

And I know there’s the whole thing about how social media sites work vs how tumblr works, but like. Dang, dudes. Big Notes Post is rad but scrolling through funny tags/comments is radder.

#for those who may be unaware:#reblogging is (pretty much) the only way for a post to have any sort of reach #your followers do not see your likes. very rarely can a post be recommended to you based on x number of likes it has gotten.#reblogs are the best and the primary way to engage with / boost / spread posts on this website #personally I use my likes to a) keep special posts forever and b) save them until I have time/energy to comment on them for a reblog #no one sees the posts you’ve liked unless they go specifically onto your blog and select your ‘liked posts’ list and scroll through

Idk why im even applying there lol

Begin ID: A screenshot of an application form. It shows the part where applicants have to select their gender. The options are "male", "female", "diverse", and "not specified". Underneath is a little note saying "Please select "diverse" or "not specified" only if this selection is officially registered for you in the register of civil status.". End ID

great additions from @scalp-book and @7micahs

truly do not understand how people just slip into relationships and jobs and opportunities and friend groups and lifestyles. to me there are a million obstacles to navigate in a single basic conversation

#I have been a weirdo my entire life and somehow have ways been able to find connection #and some of it my good friends is sheet dumb LUCK #my high school class had some wonderful weirdos in it who I’m still friends with #and the grade above me did too #whereas my sister a year younger than me just didn’t gel as well with the people in her grade #and I thought about it and was like. damn if I’d been a year younger I probably would’ve also struggled with that #like in any group or walk of life there are always weirdos but they’re not MY weirdos y’know???#gotta find that compatible brand of weird #and same with jobs I am only just barely functional-passing enough to make it and even then I have a select group #of fellow teachers who can handle my chaotic energy lmao #so much of it is luck!! and just being chaotically stupid enough to go for it and leaning into your awkwardness and making it endearing #one potato queue potato three potato four #human connection #us weirdos have to stick together #cause we are living in a neurotypical world #and I am a neurodivergent girl 🎶
